Under tUis head vrtU be fouud every week tlie
words of some popular ssu j. In this mimbcr
we give
HF.T.T.V. JIAHOXE.
Soon beyond the harbor bar.
Shall my bark be sailing far;
O’er the world I wander lone,
Sweet Belle Mahone!
O'er thy grave I weep good-bye,
Hear, oh hear my lonely cry,
Oh withoat thee what am I,
Sweet Belle Mahone?
Chobus.
Sweet Belle Mahone!
Sweet Belle Mahone!
Wait for me at Heaven's gate.
Sweet Belle Mahone!
Lonely like a withered tree.
What is all the world to me ?
Life and light were all in thee,
Sweet Belle Mahone!
Daises pale are growing o’er;
All my heart can e're adore,
Shall I meet thee nevermore,
Sweet Belle Mahone?
[Chobcs.]
Calmly, sweetly slumber on,
(Only one I call my own;)
While in tears I wander lone.
Sweet Belle Mahone!
Faded now seems ev'ry thing,
But when comes eternal spring.
With thee TU be wandering,
Sweet Belle Mahone!
WILLOW-DALE;
Olt. THE STEP-MOTHEE.
Continued from last week.
At th a t moment was heard the souud of
a carriage approaching rapidly. “ I t is papa,”
exclaimed the girL “ Stay here, Walter,
while 1 go and-meet them. ” The coachman
d ism o u iU ^ a ^ let down tiie Ha r­old
De Wilton sprang from the carriage, and
cla!iped his child lovingly to Ms heart. Then
turning from her, h e gave Ms hand to Edith.
She bent h e r cold cheek, to receive Aymee's
eagerly proffered salutation, and then said,
tum m g to h e r husband with qniet dignity—
“ Will you take me to m y room, and thefr
you will be at liberty to return to your
d a u g h te r; and taking his arm she passed
th e steps, followed by her wdting-maid wltE
a band-box and a portmanteau.
Aymee did not re tu rn to the library, but
awaited he r father on th e stairs. He caught
h e r in his arms as she came down, and kissed
her again and f«ain, and then bent Ms ear to
h e r lips, as she blushingly whispered to him
o f her betrothal, and that h e r lover was await-ingthem
in the library. He entered the room
with his arm about his fa ir cMld’s waist, and
welcomed Walter Hinc’s cordially.
“ Y our fame has come to ua across the
Atlantic” he said smilingly; “ Edith has be­come
one o f your most devoted admirers,
and it la a real, as well as most unexpected
g ^ u r e to bid you welcome to Willow-
H a lf an hour later E dith joined the party.
She was attired in a heavy crimson satin,
wMch lent a rich glow to the clear olive o f
h e r complexion, and contrasted admirably
with h e r smooth bands o f black and shining
hidr. H e r welcome o f the poet-orator was
not less cordial than h e r husband’s. She
turned upon Mm the full blaze o f h e r magni­ficent
eyes, and looked steadily in his face,
until into liiose eyes there stole an expres
sion no one had ever seen there before; an
nndefinable, intangible warmth and softness.
To Walter she seemed even more beautiful
th a n her portrait, and he watched her every
motion, lest a single new charm should es­cape
him. After the dinner hour was over,
while Aymec sat a t h e r fa th e r’s feet recount-'
ing all the little Incidents o f h e r quiet life
during the past five ypars, Walter Hines was
wandering through the shrubbery, with the
stately Edith leaning upon his arm, and
gently leading Mm on to speak o f Ms past
history, his lofty aspirations, and his dreams
o f fame. He had never discussed these sub­jects
with his gentle Aymee, b ut they came
as naturally while s p ik in g to the Mgh-thoughted
being by his side, as one should
leam astronomy while walking among the
stars.
Then gradually he was letl on to speak of
Mb love fo r Aymee, and his intentions to
seek h e r hand o f he r father, and urge an
immedate marriage.
“ Oh, n o ,” said the lady g en tly ; “ we
could never consent to that. Aj'mee Is
quite too young. You will conclude to spend
th e next six months with us, and then we
will see. In the meantime speak to Mr. De
Wilton to-morrow; I would advise that,
certMnly, and I tMnk you are secure o f his
consent, but we must be reasonable. How
was it th a t you ever loved Aymee? She is
BO different from the lady I should have
dreamed you would fancy.
“ D ifferen t! how ?”
“ .Oh, I can hardly explain it. True, Ay-mne
is good, and gentle, and beautiful, but
th e n ! Come into the house, Mr. Himes, I
am ve iy tired, and we will sit down in my
b o u d o ir, and I ’ll tell j-ou what I should
have dreamed would be the lady of y o u r
love.”
They entered the house, and Edith led the
way to h e r b o ttd a ir . Thei« was abb'ul this
apartment a kind o f Turkish luxury and re-l)
ose. Cushions o f garnet-colored velvet
were strewn around. Chairs and lounges,
covered with the mme rich matcnal, con­trasted
finely withi the snowy carpet, oii
which were raised tufts o f flowers. The
c u rt^ n s ire re o l p aU u /lin e i -,with
wliite, fn d ^ ^ I t l ^ k l f in itro rs" iif heavy
golden frames m o l t i j ^ d -iii
/te r names in tones of ten'deroes.s, and no;w
the glow died ont "frOih 'liier cheeks, h e r T5o-som
rose and fett 'beneath 't h e - 'f o l d s - l a c e
and satin, and h e r long lashes grew heavier
and heavier with tears, imtil a t last they
closed over h e r lustrous eyes, and she bow­ed
her head in silent^aKony.-upon her clasped
hands.
There was I k u o ^ not^what^f wild Ion gr
ing in the soul o;f .Wail(er H m ^ , to dra\^
away those
heavy tears from “th e flSjiifed''chfeeks, but
Edith De Wilton was ith*V/wife;ot iuH>th6^J‘
and as he sat watching) as suffer­ing
the tortures o f p u r ^ to r y might be sup­posed
to tu rn longing eyes toward Heaven.
Soon by a strong e S e r t - ^ e calmed herself,
and Slid humbly, “ Will you pardon me,
Hz
from my very childhood this loneliness of-heart
has tormented ine^ like an unquiet de­mon,
and I have borne it all these years
and neveir spoken.- This ig the l ^ t P tm T
^ d f j t ^ e me, j.b u t c (M ^ n o | h e l ^ f .
I t was so 'n ew to find one who could a t all
understand m e ; one to whom the proud
Edith D e Wilton dared to say she was un­happy.
But come, go now t o ‘the library.
Your fiianeee is there, and_ I will join you
presently.”
Never before had tVwter | Hines looked
upon hia Aymee’s face with bo little o f ten­derness
o r admiration. The 'smile w ith ’
which she welcomed him was as sweetfaB
ever, the light in her blue eye was undim­med,
and yet l^tw^en them came a beauti­ful
spirit o f evil, a dark, brilliant face, ir­resistible
in its m a g a e |is ^ fo d h^cQoM not
look th r o n g . i t , Jot b j .into tM ’cfear eyes
o f his promised bride. But Aymee was
tru th itself, and she never dreamed o t frauds
in others. H e r mannl^ toward him p a rto o k '
o f the same refined gentleness, h e r eyes
sought his own as confetegly. as ever, and
h e r little h a n d lay in his-with achangelcss
faith. And then sometimes the spell was
broken. Sometimes h e - would resolutely
close his eyes, and opening them, instead of
the weird beauty o f th a t r t f ^ a i ^ h g face, he
would see the pure, pale btbvr o f iiis Aymee,
and huld her to his heart with remorseful
tenderness.
He had .spent a week a t Willow-Dale before
he found an opportunity to demand Aymee’s
hand o f her f a ^ e r ; an d ^ somehow, by this
time, he himself had lost all inclmation to
burry the nnptitals, ' When hie had conclud'-
ed the story of his love, tears stood in the
proud eyes of,Harold De Wilton, and ho said,
h a lf s a d ly ^
“ Yes, I will trust my daughter to j'our

There was an inexplicable sadness in his
tone, which struck the young man as singu­lar
a t the time, but,, the , impression: fa^vd
from Ms mind. The suminer months pa ss­ed
gayly onward. Aymeprivas y e iy .h a |ijy .
Her luiver was d oi^sw lty % ^ ^ d
